Kyle Lafferty gave Northern Ireland fans a bit of a scare this morning after he took a knock in training.

The leading striker limped off the pitch during an open training session in France, reportedly struggling with groin pain.

But manager Michael O'Neill has since confirmed the injury is not serious.

"It's fine, it's precautionary, we have no major concerns there," O'Neill said.

"It's a little twist, but on examination we don't expect any major issues at all. We're just being careful, we're more concerned about the thunder and lightning, to be honest!"

Asked about the extent of Lafferty's groin problem, O'Neill replied: "He just twisted it a little bit there when he slipped, the pitch is hard. Those little situations are always liable to happen, no major concerns there at all."
